Twitter suspends account that tracks Elon Musk's private jet

It's at least for now.

The account was suspended because it tracked the movements of the private jet. Jack Sweeney is a Freshman at the University of Central Florida.

The data made public by the FAA would be shared by the ElonJet account. Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are just two of the celebrities and CEOs that Sweeney tracks on his automated account. The accounts have not been taken offline.

For a while, Musk has had a dislike for the account. In January, Musk reached out to Sweeney in order to get the account taken down. The college freshman accepted Musk's offer of $5,000 to take down the account. Sweeney replied with a counter offer of $50,000 or a new car. Musk said he would consider it but never responded again.

In October, Musk bought the social network.

"My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk," Musk said on Nov.

It looked like that could have been the case for a while. On December 10, Sweeney posted a message he said he received from a person on the micro-blogging site.

The employee said that the visibility of the account was limited to a severe degree inside.

The team atelonjet was requested to apply heavy VF by the new VP atTwitter Trust and Safety.

Sweeney shared that the restrictions on his account appeared to have been removed after he posted the leaked messages.

ElonJet was suspended by wednesday morning.

It's not clear why Elonjet was suspended. He posted a picture of the "permanent suspension" prompt he sees on the account.

Since Musk laid off everyone in the department, the company no longer has a communications team.

Musk supports free speech and said he would moderate the website with those principles in mind. It's not easy to claim that and also suspend an account that was made public.
